Dang it Avalon, you c(XD LOL)-block Shirou and Reinforce, but don't protect his mind in other ways? What is wrong, you woman?
Friendship, be made! Magical power, gather! Starlight Breaker.... this world!

Oh hey, the exact same one that I got. I also bought this special popcorn set that came with this pendant-thingy, which also featured Madoka. Oh, and I saw this toy-dispenser thing with Soul Gem replicas which I decided to have a go at, and got Madoka's Soul Gem. Furthermore this one time a while back I saw this box containing an unspecified figurine of one of the five lead characters... I got Madoka there too.

How is it that every single time I get some piece of Madoka merchandise where there are several possible options and you don't know which you'd end up with before opening it... I always get Madoka? c'mon completely random chance, can't you give me something of Sayaka or Kyouko for once? For those images they were giving away with the movie (pictured in the quoted post) I really wanted the KyoSaya one...

I got Homura's tainted soul gem. Have you seen the ones that light up?

Hmm, I ordered the Rebellion Merchandise box set but I've been told that it can't be shipped to Australia so I've asked Rightstuff about whether they can change the order to the 3 hybrid Limited Editions of the 12 eps... And they would appear to not be able to send them... Does anyone know anywhere else to buy them from?

Now, to preface this, my family knows I like anime, but that's almost all they know. I'm much more open about my pro hockey fandom (partly since my dad is also a big hockey fan). If you were to ask my parents or my sisters what my five favorite anime shows are, they might remember "...Nanoha?" but that's it.

Yet, in spite of this, my sisters bought me the Injustice: Gods Among Us video game for Christmas, along with a neat little throw-in. Along with Superman and Batman came a nice little card...

(Note: Man in the background is my dad. The hand is mine)

While I personally don't live anywhere near a major movie theater, one of my sisters does. And she's a Manager at one. So I guess that explains how she managed to get this card, lol.

Anyway, if anybody can translate the text on this card, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Nice, congrats. And them knowing the word "Nanoha" is pretty good. Pretty sure the best my family could name is Dragonball Z, and describe vague scenarios/plots from others (ex: the one with the time traveling phone).

The two words in brackets at the top are read from left to right, they mean "new chapter". The five characters below are also read from left to right - "rebellion story".

The rest of the words in the Shinbo group should be read from top to bottom. The four kanji (top to bottom) to the left hand side is Shinbo's signature. The other characters to the right of Shinbo's signature mean thanks for coming and watching the film.

Gen Urobuchi:

Everything is from left to right. The 3 big kanji words are his siguature. Don't know what the line below means.

Aoki:

Everything in this group is read from left to right. The big black characters below 2013 are her signature. The lone big kanji in red means well wishes. The line immediately below the red kanji means "Madoka * Magica". The black line below that one means (new chapter) film opening *heart heart*. The line further below in red means thank you.

Nice, Triple R! I got the same one. Actually, I originally got the one with Sayaka and Kyouko, but I traded it to get Homura, haha. I'm not really open with my family about anime either.

@Monoriu - Thanks a lot for translating that. I'm very glad to hear that some of this text are autographs, as I had been hoping!

@Sayaka Rei - Thanks a lot for showing those five! Very nice, and exceptionally moe artwork on the part of whoever drew these.

I am just guessing, but didn't Ume Aoki draw them? She is original character designer afterall.

Not sure if you notice it, but both Shinbo and Aoki's autographs are exceptionally clear and quite stylish. This probably reflects their backgrounds as animator and manga artist. Meanwhile, Gen Urobuchi's autograph is barely legible and not even very tidy. If those 3 kanji are taken out of context, there is no way I can figure out what those represent.

Speaking of autographs, I'm a little disappointed that they didn't put the autographs of the voice actresses there.
